So, if you want to use an aligner at home to\nstraighten your teeth, you may be curious as to what this entails. Do you have\nto attend check-ups? What happens if you think there is a problem with the\naligner? These questions are rarely clear to those new to the world of\ninvisible aligners like Invisalign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At\nClear Braces Direct<\/strong>, our team will\nguide you in the use of invisible aligners at home and will help you to get straight\nteeth at home London<\/a> with as little inconvenience as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while your experience may vary slightly, in\nthe following article, our team discusses the steps required to get straight teeth at home London<\/strong> when you choose clear braces. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assessment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

First things first, when you want to get straight teeth at home London<\/strong>, you will need to have an\nassessment with our team to ensure that using Invisalign would be beneficial\nfor you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In most cases, it is. You simply need to have a\nmild to moderate case of dental misalignment on the front teeth in your mouth\nfor this aligner to work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we deem that you are suitable for using\nInvisalign, we will use an intraoral scanner to capture an image of your teeth,\nfrom which to create the aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aligner printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world has changed dramatically since the\ninvention of 3D printers and when it comes to Invisalign, this is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a computer program known as ClinCheck, our\nassociates will predict the movement needed to move your teeth into their\ndesired positions. Once this has been completed, the aligners can be printed\nand sent back to either our surgery or straight to your home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wearing the aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aligners will come in a set of around 12-14\nand will need to be worn in a specific order to move your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each aligner will need to be worn for around 2\nweeks at a time. To keep your aligners clear, you will need to clean them using\neither a cold water tap, Invisalign cleaning crystals or a similar product. Do\nnot use hot water to clean your aligners and do not use mouthwash, as this can\nstain the aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check-ups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OK, so this is a treatment that can be primarily\nundertaken at home, so you will not need to attend our surgery unless\nrequested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But we will need to see images of your teeth via\nthe Invisalign app, which will need to be sent once a week, so this kind of counts\nas a check-up! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we spot anything that we are not happy with\nwhen we assess these photos, we will respond via the app with either\ninstructions or with an invitation to attend the surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compliance!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know it is tempting to take these aligners out and leave them out for extended periods, especially if you have been suffering from discomfort with them. But for this treatment to work, the aligners need to be worn for a minimum of 22 hours per day so please, keep them in! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
